Adding a power element to your workouts can help you dominate over the competition. A study published in the Journal of Applied Biomechanics analyzed the effect that snatch pulls had on vertical jump performance.
Because this Olympic lift has a ballistic effect, subjects realized a 5% to 6% increase in power from the knee joint, which enabled higher vertical jumps. Even though it was a difference of only around half an inch, that might be enough to dunk a basketball, block a shot, intercept a pass, push harder on skates, or outplay an opponent at your sport. You only need to perform a couple heavy reps to see what it'll do for your game.
MMA, Wrestlers and Boxers: Your Vertical jumping ability is also directly related to your ability to close distance, and striking power.
